I am 51 with combination skin & occasional break outs. I love this product & can no longer find locally. It is the only daily product I use besides sunscreen when needed, & my skin has never felt or looked better! My mom continually comments on how good my skin looks & I do not wear makeup. She never commented prior to using this product. Cannot argue with those results!

I normally use Stridex' Maximum pads and those were working fine for me. Their Maximum pads have 2% Salicylic acid so when I saw that these had 1% I thought it might not work all that great, but they did. I'm the type of person who, if I don't follow my routine to a tee, I will develop pimples, quickly. I merely swapped out the Maximum pad for these and my skin stayed mostly clear for the past week that I've been using them.

I also like that it's mostly natural so instead of feeling like I'm putting a bunch of chemicals on my face, I know I'm putting on things that are found in nature, along with the necessary medication that reduces my breakouts.

There is a slight drawback that I feel some people might not like, but I didn't mind it at all because I use this mainly at home (not for going out). You know that residue other people mention in their reviews? Well it's definitely there... while you apply the pad it gets a bit "soapy", in a sense. it lathers up slightly but it dries up and disappears eventually and that "film" will stay on your skin, but if you're using this at night it's not a problem. If you plan on going out, you might not like the idea of having the film/residue on your skin the entire day, but honestly it isn't bad at all. It's not reflective or oily, or anything, it just looks like your skin is well hydrated after.

This product works great. As others say, it does seem to lit a bit of a film feeling on your skin but with this product, I don't have to use a moisturizer afterwards. I've had embarressing flaking skin on my face since I can remember and have always had to use tons of moisturizer. This product practically elminates the need for a moisturizer since it leaves this 'film'. The pad and solution really get down into your pores when you use it thorougly. Regular Stridex pads and other brands have always irritated my skin and left it more dry/inflamed. This product rocks and without it, there isn't anything else that makes me more confident. The only problem with the product is that the container leaks. I've had this problem with almost all types of face pads though.

Salicylic Acid is great for adult acne and clearing pores...I have moderate to severe acne, esp bad around that time of the month. My chin breaks out with cystic acne...I have found that some products that have salicylic acid have other ingredients that cause me to break out. Its so hard for me to find good ingredients in acne products for my sensitive skin....

Well this product fits the bill...it has the salicylic acid without a lot of other ingredients that cause me more breakouts....and the bulk of the other ingredients are antioxidents!...Wow...how wonderful...this stuff is awesome and it controls my acne...what do ya know? Perfect. Just wipe with the huge pads and there is enough to use on your back or chest after your face. Let it dry and I didnt feel any film or anything afterwards.

Now I am just waiting for them to stop making them...which is what happens everytime I finally find something that works on my stubborn acne...Love this stuff.

Ok so this stuff contains some great ingredients that are nourishing to the skin. One thing though I do feel like it leaves a slight residue... but I guess that's from the soothing properties it contains... so it might be a "good" kinda residue. It does help slightly with acne if you're looking for a quick way to wash your face... use this instead of my toner sometimes... but splash water on my face bc I dont like the feeling of residue.
